Rain or Shine at CASology

If it's anything where you live, like it is here in VA, the signs of spring are right on track. We've had sunshine and rain, cool nights and warm days...and allergies and sinus issues kicking in full swing :) So how great that the cue card for CASology this week is: WEATHER!

Here's my card:

How funny is it that fellow DT member Kymona Tracey and I had the idea to use the exact same stamp set- it's from Create A Smile, titled "Bad Day"- and the same stamps from it LOL! 

I thought it would be awesome to go monochromatic with grays (I used Copics C1, C3, and C5) for the clouds, top umbrellas, and the furry guy, but bring in a splash of color to brighten the mood :)

It's hard to see in this photo, but I used my wink of stella clear pen for the rain drops.

Today's tip: 

If you want to make a large area glossy (like my rainbow umbrella), use a Versamark pen (it has a felt brush tip on one end and a bullet nib on the other) to color over your area, then heat set with detail clear embossing powder...rinse and repeat- well not really rinse, but you know what I mean :)

The DT has some great inspirations to brighten your day and get you going on your WEATHER cards! Blow on over to their blogs and don't forget the Guest Designer for the week!
